OMG. I don't know why I watched the whole thing - as if I thought he'd actually be rescued. :(

To whoever asked - yes, that's exactly what happened.

That second video is bizarre. Real footage mixed with I don't know what. I never saw it before.

what the hell is that "world trade centre" movie? i saw the trailer but that cant be coming out can it?

even the trailer is disturbing!

The World Trade Center movie is indeed coming out - this Wednesday in fact. It's the day told from the point of view of two Port Authority workers turned rescuers turned victims. Same horror, different heroes. Very disturbing - as is the first youtube video posted here. :(

Tough one to review. in many ways it's a good movie, yet i'm not sure if i'd recommend it. it takes you right to the collapsing buildings, you feel them coming down. but then again the movie is a little too sentimental for my taste and feels a little like a made for TV film. i bet this would have played better without the violins underscoring every emotion. the subject is so powerful, the emotions so strong and raw, i don't need to be manipulated to feel them. it wouldn't take much to get me to relive and feel it all again. i don't feel uplifted, i just feel this weird mix of not quite what to think ... maybe we should have waited a couple of more years before tackling this subject .... 5/10

In addition: I cringed when i saw Nicolas Cage walk with the others toward the building. Ugh!

That's an interesting review and he makes some very good points - "the emotions so strong and raw, i don't need to be manipulated to feel them."

The last bit struck me the most - "i don't feel uplifted, i just feel this weird mix of not quite what to think ..." That weird mix is what many of us felt ON 9/11. Denial, disbelief, hope, shock. I'll never forget the images of hospital workers waiting in the streets with gurneys, hoping to save some lives. They weren't sure if they could handle the number of victims and called in every resource they had. They waited so long for victims who were never found.

I don't know how I feel about this movie. Maybe he's right - some of us needed a couple of more years.

I think most people don't want to see some patriotic disaster movie, but a realistic and honest review of events, a story about the people. I don't think we will see that if i look at the trailer. It just looks a bit...blah.

Even if this call was a fake...it's an accurate portayl of what happend. Even all of the 911 operators and the rescue personnel who didn't loose their lives all remarked how calm everyone was, even in the midst of that. Watching that really brought it all back...I was 2 weeks into my first year of college when this happend. My roommate at the time was flipping out, because her dad worked as a consultant and was supposed to be 2 buildings down the street from the towers that day. Luckily he'd taken that day off so he could help with some stuff around the house. It's hard to explain it to someone who isn't American really....even though to a certain extent the US needed a wake-up call about our foreign policy. I'm just sorry the wake up call had to be this...and I'm sorry for all of the families who lost loved ones.
